No buttons to press. • Live Dashboard — See speed, distance, and duration in real time while driving. • Detailed Trip History — Browse all your trips with route maps, speed charts, and elevation profiles. • Statistics — Total distance, driving time, trip count, averages, and weekly trends. • Fuel Cost Tracking — Enter your fuel economy and price to see cost per trip. • Find My Car — Tap to navigate back to where you parked. • CarPlay Support — Full dashboard on your car's display. • Works Offline — GPS recording works without cell service. HOW IT WORKS: 1. Open Trips and grant location + motion permissions 2. Drive — Trips auto-detects and starts recording 3. Park — recording stops and your trip is saved 4.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Simple Speedometer at none against Trips's 3. Simple Speedometer also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
